This work presents the application of a geostatistical-based modeling approach for building up electrical properties acquired from a geophysical electrical tomography survey deployed for the purpose of porphyry Cu exploration at the Takht-e-Gonbad deposit, in the central domain of Iran. Electrical data were inverted in 2D along several profiles across the main favorable zones of Cu-bearing mine...

The contamination of soil and groundwater by LNAPLs is a problem that has been treated over several years, because, they are used in the industrial worldwide. Its location and behavior in the subsurface has been monitored through invasive methods that disturb the environment and they are costly. In this sense, we integrated a noninvasive hydrogeophysical method as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)...

[1] Monte Carlo inversion techniques were first used by Earth scientists more than 30 years ago. Since that time they have been applied to a wide range of problems, from the inversion of free oscillation data for whole Earth seismic structure to studies at the meter-scale lengths encountered in exploration seismology. This paper traces the development and application of Monte Carlo methods for ...

When detecting epikarst water using the self-potential method, actual location of anomaly center often deviates from prospecting result due to interference regional background field, which is comprised geological noise and artificial electromagnetic fields. Ultimately, this makes it difficult locate detection target accurately. To address potential offset location, in study we introduce differe...

The stability of a potentially unstable rock mass strongly depends on the discontinuity pattern and the face topography. Basic geological analysis could provide useful structural information but suffers from the lack of information on discontinuities at depth. Of major importance is the persistence of discontinuities inside the mass. Several geophysical methods (seismic, electric and electromag...
